More importantly my openoffice seems to be screwed up i think it had something to do with perl being upgraded and that somehow screwed up my locales. My locales are just C and POSTFIX but when I run openoffice I get: starting configuration import into user data .. .. importing layer file:///tmp/oooLocale.XXXXyD0zzf - succeeded I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "" If I reconfigure my locales to include en_US.UTF-8 I then get this: #openoffice Starting configuration import into user data .. .. importing layer file:///tmp/oooLocale.XXXXtBkvKq - succeeded And now with the en_US.UTF-8 set to default i get all these funny characters on lots of screens like the reconfigure screens and man pages. I had C set to the default locale before but when you reconfigure it it doesn't seem to be an option to fix the funky characters i have to reconfigure locales and remove en_US.UTF-8. I tried removing and purging openoffice and reinstalling with no luck. Please help -ryan per -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
